With some 'persuasion', Mammon managed to get all of her subordinates to sign the contract, but she soon stumbled upon another problem, her clothes. After she became a leprechaun, her clothes became too big for her and that could be detrimental in battle, so she needed a quick fix. Forcing her male subordinates to turn away, she took out a sewing kit and placed most of her clothes and whatever jewelry she had on in her storage ring while making adjustments to the rest. She was soon wearing an improvised dress suitable for her size and she couldn't help but notice how much easier she was able to do that than before.
"Let's advance, I want to see what treasures this world has to offer." Mammon said and pointed forward towards the massive red barrier around a hundred meters away. Her subordinates hid their grievances in their heart from Mammon's 'persuasions' and gave a loud roar. As they travelled towards the barrier, Mammon studied the status of each of her subordinates and made note of their skills and description, as she tried to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.
'I can't be too sure of what exactly they can do, as I doubt everyone would adhere to their races description and their strength will vary based on how well they can use their skills in conjunction with their usual fighting styles. I guess I'll just have to observe for now.' Mammon thought as she read looked through their statuses. They soon arrived at the barrier, much quicker than they expected, they lingered before the barrier for a few seconds, before Mammon gave them the signal to proceed. They nervously stepped through the barrier, and as they felt their bodies past through the barrier, they breathed a sigh of relief as they were just fine. Suddenly, a massive multilayered rune lit up under their feet, before they could even try to escape, they were teleported somewhere else.
[Welcome to Zone 3.]
A notification sounded in their minds, and they found themselves in a forest, where they could hear the sounds of beastly roars and growls as well as the sound of battle.
"Where are we?" Someone asked and gulped nervously
"Don't know, but we should probably find somewhere-" But Mammon was forced to stop as she felt fresh blood splash across her face and she heard the sound of a body falling to the ground. Quickly, she spun around and could see a tall, muscular, wolf standing on two legs like a human. The mane around it's neck was lit with a dark red flame along with it's forearm and lower legs, the creature had the head of her dead subordinate in it's hand and had a gleeful smile on it's face, displaying it's beastly fangs.
"Everyone, prepare for battle." Mammon said, as she also summoned her weapons.
"Ohh, I've never eaten creatures like you before. I wonder if you are one of those monsters Mephistopheles is trying to create." The creature said, as it threw the head into the air and catches it leisurely without a care in the world.
"Who the hell are you?! What the fuck are you?!" Mammon asked angrily as she gripped her daggers tightly
"Hmm, my name is Cerbrox and I'm a hellhound. And you are?" The creature said
"None of your business." Mammon replied and a red crystal like gem spike emerged from the ground beneath the hellhound. With quick reflexes, Cerbrox threw away the head of Mammon's subordinate and grabbed the spike with it's claws. A crack sound resounded, as the hellhound dug it's claws into the crystal. Mammon's subordinates rushed forward to attack Cerbrox, they unleashed a barrage of multiple affinities towards him. Cerbrox swiftly dodged, doing a backflip through the air. Gadvin ran forward with an axe in hand and swung it towards the hellhound's head, but it deflected the blade with it's claws. Suddenly, the claws on it's other hand ignited with hellish flames as well and it slashed into Galvin's side, but instead of flinching like he expected, he grabbed his hand and punched him in the face/snout.
Cerbrox stepped backwards, holding his snout as he was sure his bones were broken. He suddenly roared in pain as two deep wound appeared on the back of his knees, forcing him to kneel.
"I'll make you pay for what you did." Mammon said as she appeared from behind him, brandishing her blades above his head. The others moved closer as well, ready to witness the death of the scoundrel that killed one of their own.
"Hah...mwahahahahahahahaha." Cerbrox started laughing maniacally and the others looked at him like he was insane, but then, they sensed a large amount of demonic energy leak from his body and the hairs on the back of their neck stood on end. They immediately moved away from him as hellfire burst from his body, but it didn't spread outward and instead condensed until his hands, legs, forearm and lower legs were covered in condensed hellfire and the rest of his body had glowing dark red veins covering it's entirety.
"Mwahahaha, it has been a while since I hunted such interesting prey." Cerbrox said with saliva leaking from his mouth and his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
